You had been dropped into the ocean next to the Baratie by Arlong. The current swept You up and every time you got close to the surface, waves slammed on you again, causing you to start to drown. Just as everything went black...you felt two arms wrap around you. You woke up coughing water onto the pier of the Baratie with the cook/waiter, Sanji, sitting shirtless beside you. He was soaking.

"Are you alright? I should kill that fish face for doing that to you," ** He said, rubbing your back.
